    Great Day On The Water

    6 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Can highly recommend this trip. My two teenage sons took this trip as a day away from CP crowds. Caught 67 fish and this was a charter where we actually got to fish (bait, cast, reel them in). Taken several Erie area chapters and by far the best. Captain was First Class all the way!

    Thank you Nolan.

    Our last fish today, was the biggest ?. It weighed 17.5-pounds. We had a great day on the water. They filled 2-coolers with Wild Caught Lake Erie Sandusky Bay Channel Catfish by 10:00 A.M.. Of course, all the bigger ones were thrown back. Lake Erie’s Sandusky Bay provides a great nutritional food source for thousands and thousands of Midwest residents of our country. And I’m proud to provide the fun fishing that provides the table fare.

    Fishing with me on Lake Erie’s Sandusky Bay offers you: the best and biggest 25ft Catfish Rig in the entire fleet, best electronics, cleanest boat, and… most fun fishing trip you’ll ever have. Today’s trip was a fun family trip. And they kept plenty for table fare.
